Luxurious City bar is demolished (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sybaritic

'luxurious' is the definition.
(I know that luxurious can be written as sybaritic)

'city bar is demolished' is the wordplay.
'demolished' indicates an anagram.
'city'+'bar'+'is'='citybaris'
'citybaris' anagrammed gives 'SYBARITIC'.

(Other definitions for sybaritic that I've seen before include "Hedonistic" , "Devoted to luxury" , "Affording, enjoying, luxury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
